Japanese Inspirations

The name “Tenkara” is derived from a Japanese form of fly fishing and dates back hundreds of years and even pre dates the Western or traditional form of fly fishing. Typically involving a long rod around 8-13 feet in length, along with a very lightweight fixed line, tippet, and flies. There is no reel in Tenkara. This is important because it makes it much easier to learn because it helps you focus on the fly and not the line – so for those of you new to fly fishing, this could be the perfect choice of rod for you.
